[LRFlex] EOS Leica C/Y and M42

With all the recent discussion about EOS/Leica adapters.

Here's a selection of 3 versions, unfortunately I don't have a Cameraquest or Fotodiox as a comparison. According to what I've read and heard they are more than pretty good.

I believe Bob Shell and Zörkendorfer produce C/Y adapters too.

I wonder when Mr. K will present us with an aperture emulating adapter for Leica R to EOS ?? Now that would be useful.

Talking of CV, does anyone know of a good centre graduated filter for the 12mm Ultra-Wide? Whenthe 12 came out the filter adapter was released with the comment that a grad was soon to follow, later the filter was withdrawn as being not good enough, at least from what I heard from a couple of people close to Ringfoto here in Germany.

cheers

The Canon adapter idea works - but (even ask the owner of cameraquest) they get pretty
loose or should be designated to a single lens. The cheaper Canons are not w/o problems
either. Neither are the more expensive D1 and D1s, honestly.


That's what I do. I have 3 adapters that live on my 100/Macro, 80/1.4, and 19/2.8. I have the Canon 1D and haven't found any problems yet! I'm going through over 3000 digital photos that I took in Honduras, many with the Leica R lenses, and the metering and focusing are right on. The digital files are clean and higher ISOs are amazing.



Let's at least give them a chance, OK?


I'll give the Digital M a chance, if it's has a reasonable files size (over 8MB) at a reasonable price (Hah!).
